Acrylic 
Artificial nails on the other hand offer a more natural finish that lasts longer than gel nails. This process takes slightly longer than gel nail applications as the nail technicians have to combine a mix of liquid and powder substance to form a paste which when dried forms the acrylic nail that is perfectly shaped with a curved natural finish and painted on with nail polish.

Dip Powder&nbsp; 
Dip powder is, as it sounds, a pigmented powder formula that nails are dipped into after being coated with adhesive formula to create thicker tinted nails and finished with a top coat. It is great for those who want to grow their natural nails without using UV light to cure the polish. The formula is typically treated with minerals and vitamins that promote nail growth and prevent breaking. It has a matte finish and lasts longer than the above two options. It also has the most flexible application that can easily be done at home by yourself.&nbsp;
Cost: HK$500 Up
How long it takes: 45mins
How long it lasts: 3-4 weeks

Paraffin Manicure (beeswax and petroleum) 
Paraffin is more of a spa treatment for the nails than it is a coating or nail art. It helps removes dead skin cells, heal dry cracked hands and result in silky, smooth skin. The treatment uses a moisturising silky hot mix of&nbsp;beeswax and petroleum for the hand to briskly dip in until they&nbsp;coated with layers of&nbsp;wax. Then the hands are covered in plastic gloves and wrapped in hot towles before the wax is peeled off and finished with a manicure.&nbsp;It is common to add essential oils to the hot wax for a relaxing and aromatic sensorial experience.&nbsp;
